Roscoe Gets into Software


Just when I thought the world was safe, Roscoe 'fessed up. "They closed the mine, son," he said. "Looks like I need to find a new job. Think I could manage one of those software projects?"

Thank heavens the "dot-com" frenzy has abated, I thought. How the hell would I ever explain that to him? On the other hand, he would certainly bring a fresh point of view to our business. We might actually learn something in the process.

"Sure, Roscoe," I replied. "Go off and learn about iterative development. That's the best place to start. Read up on that, talk to some people, and then come back to see me." I figured that would keep him busy for a while.

"I'll get back to you," he said, being careful not to let the screen door slam as he left.
